Kenzie Howell

Hello Everyone

I'm Kenzie, YOUR CINEMATIC
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I am Kenzie, a destination wedding photographer based in Nashville, Tennessee, creating imagery that feels both cinematic and deeply human. My work is defined by emotional storytelling, intentional direction, and a blend of digital, film, and Super 8 that preserves your memories with a sense of timeless artistry.

Before photography, I spent more than a decade as an actor. Those years trained my eye to notice emotion, story, and connection in ways that still shape everything I create today. I learned how to read a moment, how to guide with gentleness, and how to help people feel safe enough to be fully themselves in front of a camera. That experience is the heartbeat of my work.

I draw inspiration from cinema, poetry, timeless love stories, and the soul stirring power of a great record. These influences layer mood, depth, and intention into every frame. When couples tell me they feel awkward or not photogenic, I remind them that they do not need to be anything but human. I will create a space where you feel held, seen, and celebrated. The real magic is never in the pose. It is in the in between moments, the quiet breaths, the unguarded glances, the laughter that happens when the world blurs for a second.

Being married now, I see every wedding with deeper reverence. I know how quickly the day moves, and how irreplaceable it is to have your real emotions preserved with care. The trembling hands during vows. The soft moments no one else notices. The memories that settle into something sacred over time.

Couples come to me because they want more than documentation. They want a photographer who brings direction with ease, artistry with purpose, and a deep understanding of how to translate feeling into imagery. When you hang your photos in your home, I want them to be more than beautiful. I want them to be windows into memory, a reflection of how it felt to stand in that moment and be fully alive in it.

If you are drawn to bold romantic imagery and a luxury experience rooted in trust, intention, and emotion, you are exactly where you belong.

The Soundtrack of My Life

There I was at 10 years old, standing in front of a camera for my very first headshots and absolutely convinced I was meant for Disney Channel. Even then, storytelling had its hold on me.

It was 2000 and something...
